LENOX, East Longmeadow, Mass. has launched its new VERSA PRO carbide-tipped blade for general purpose cutting. The new versatile carbide blade leverages a proprietary carbide tip and technology to deliver long blade life across a variety of metals and cutting applications, the company claims.

The tips feature Honex Technology, a process that pre-hones the cutting edge to minimize chipping and help eliminate the break-in process, the company claims. VERSA PRO blades are designed to cut a wide range of metals, allowing users the versatility needed to keep cutting without stopping for frequent blade changes.

Other features include: multi-chip tooth design to balance the load and reduce cutting forces; a moderately aggressive rake angle for easy penetration and balanced wear; and precision ground carbide tips with clean, sharp edges. They are available in a range of blade widths.
